Hello dear Friends and welcome to another Sunday Scrapbooking rendez-vous. The change of the weather in my neck of the woods is what inspired me today's post. The idea is simple: dab a small amount of gesso onto the negative shape(s) of your Snowflake Trio for a soft Winter Wonderland effect! You can use it to make your own cardstock, card or even wrapping paper...

You have to love Gesso, it is so easy to use and so fast top dry! One key note: a little goes a long way! You want to cut your shapes first, place your negative shape onto your medium and then with a dabber, take a small amount of Gesso and dab away...

What a great technique, especially for snowflakes! I am off to give this a go! LOVE your page, so busy yet not cluttered and the news clip pinpoints the date! Clever! So Obama is not going to implement the healthcare bill? We are so fortunate in France, the system we have is very good and the poor don't suffer. Everyone has basic healthcare and anything to do with the heart or cancer is treated free. It's much colder today, snow may be on it's way...I'm off to make some snowflakes in the warmth! TFS! Bon dimanche!

A lovely effect especially with the way that the gesso seems to reflect the snowy texture in the photo immediately to the left - it's as if the snow in the hand has been placed under a microscope & those gesso flakes are what one sees!Paula (PEP)
